Everyday choices that can help reduce acid exposure and support the strength of your tooth enamel.
Dr. Alex Rivers
General & Cosmetic Dentist
Tooth enamel is the hard outer layer that protects each tooth. It can be affected by repeated acid exposure from foods, drinks, and stomach acid. Once enamel is lost, the body cannot grow it back, so prevention and early advice are important.
Try to limit frequent sipping of acidic drinks and keep them to mealtimes where possible. Water is a good everyday choice. If you consume something acidic, rinse with water and wait before brushing. Tooth grinding and dry mouth can also affect tooth surfaces.
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and avoid scrubbing aggressively. Ask your dentist whether additional fluoride support is appropriate for your risk level. If you grind your teeth, a dental assessment can help identify wear and discuss suitable options.
Small consistent habits can make a difference. Your dental team can help identify the factors most relevant to your mouth and recommend a routine you can maintain.
